Reply To: texture properties tab with materials in 2.8

That was with the Blender Internal Renderer only and that no longer exists in 2.8.

Like @gcs_dev says, there is no way to use the textures from the Texture Properties directly for the material.

You can use the (Noise or White Noise) Textures from the Shader Editor.

Or use 2.79 or so (still available as download from here: https://www.blender.org/download/previous-versions/ ).
